this halloween or on ebay or something, go find a lizard mask for starters. using heat to melt, some bondo in all the right places, and glass eyes, i think the mask may be the easiest part. as for the arms, THAT will be hard since itll need to be flexible to move in.....maybe some modded rubber oven mits. idk. never had to make a lizard based costume before.

i actually agree with muad'did on this...theres this rubber like supstance people call it dragon skin cause it has the same texture when it dries almost like a tortoises skin maybe you can use that to coat a pair of longer glowes...just a suggestion

I recommend you go to the BHG, Bossk section, also the RPF Bossk posts, and the ones here as well.

I have posted how I made my Bossk on all three sites. I have only had my Bossk finished for about five months, and people have gone crazy over it. It won the "Best Star Wars Villain" at Celebration V last month, and the "Best Star Wars Character" at DragonCon last week. The Actor, Alan Harris, who played Bossk originally, was very impressed with the costume at Celebration V, and said it was the best he had ever seen.

There are five Bossk masks I am aware of, besides scratch built ones. The are occasionally offered for sale on the RPF and Ebay. A realistic Bossk is a very complex costume, and it took a lot of work to do it right. The suit is a 1960's vintage, RAF high altitude pressure suit, not just a "yellow cotton coverall". Check out all of those sites I mentioned. My article on how I builtthe whole thing is supposed to be published in the official Star Wars Bantha Tracks or Insider one of these days.

Sorry man but your wrong, Dragon-Skin doesn't have a texture to it. It all depends on the mold.

Anyway I would(if you can) sculpt him yourself, make a mold out of plaster(ultra-cal 30), and then casr it in latex.
Just my 2cents. Hope that helps!

Well Bondo=ing a latex mask is a recipe for disaster. Best answer would be as Superprops says. Buy a good chunk of wet clay and sculpt the head over a life cast of your own head. Then make a mold to pull a latex mask from off your sculpt.

Bossk's Bossk (lol) is very good. I saw him several times at CV. Oddly, I think the feet would be the hardest to do. Must be able to be small so they don't look like overshoes and be very durable to walk in.

fair enough. ive never gone wrong with bondo but then again, ive never tried to make a mask completely out of it, so i guess i got to take your word on that one. the facemold seems like a good idea since i made something like that in high school and it was very comfortable.
